Best marine wax?
Jul 23rd, 2010 at 5:52pm
 
I've been using the middle of the road Autozone products. Are they all the same or is there something that everyone here just LOVES?

Just recently tried Babe's spray on/wipe off and it looks great and is very simple.

If used Babe's before and it works good.

This summer I've been using and Ducky boat cleaner to get rid of the water spots when I first pull her out of the lake.

I really like Meguiars boat wax for waxing.

After a day at the lake I wash and then finish up with a spray bottle of water and vinegar before putting her away.  Works pretty well.

I'm using some Wal-Mart off brand boat wax, works pretty well, my boat has a great shine. I might try some Zaino that I use for my Viper, fantastic stuff.

That vinegar idea is pretty neat, I may give that a whirl.

Wouldn't the vinegar dissolve the wax?

I used to use a diluted vinegar solution and it does work well on water spots.   The price is right.....but the girl crew hated the smell.    Smiley
